Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Loc Detox Wash (ACV).

Yes — when properly diluted and applied by our stylists, ACV detox is safe for most loc textures. We avoid it for open scalp wounds or extreme sensitivity, perform patch tests, and tailor the solution strength to your needs.

We recommend a professional ACV detox every 4–8 weeks depending on buildup, lifestyle, and scalp condition. Clients with heavy product use or hard water may need more frequent sessions; your stylist will customize a maintenance plan.

ACV does not bleach hair but can gently clarify surface color, especially on recently dyed locs. Expect minimal fading with thorough rinsing; for permanent color concerns we suggest a patch test or consulting your colorist first.

Yes. ACV’s natural antimicrobial properties and pH-balancing action reduce odor and flaking by removing buildup and calming irritation. Some cases require repeated treatments and follow-up moisturizing to prevent dryness.

Appointments typically take 45–75 minutes depending on loc length, density, and buildup severity. Time covers consultation, ACV application and scalp massage, thorough rinsing, conditioning, and recommended aftercare instructions.

Avoid heavy styling products for 24–48 hours to let scalp pH rebalance and locs settle. Light, loose styles are fine; if you plan a major style, discuss timing with your stylist to ensure the best results.
